Differential?

Some of us are one wheel drive, some of us are using a combination of free-wheels to get power through the corners at all times,kind-of like a differential ... but not quite.

This is an explanation of how a differential works from 1937......it all makes so much more senses now. It is a 9 minute video, but so worth it.
